[Mom 2 2 plus 3]

Help! First time cruiser needs advice...I want to book Palo for a special date night for DH and I. BUT...I don't want to miss anything! LOL For those veteran cruisers out there, what would your suggested night be, and why? TIA!! I'm getting sooo excited!

Hey! Welcome! Don't book the night we leave Castaway Cay because that's usually pirate night. If say first or second night will probably be pretty safe! Don't miss Palo.

I have the same issue! I don't want to miss Pirate Night or anything on Star Wars Day at Sea but I can't find confirmed information on what night is what! Hoping they will announce it soon because I can start rebooking on Sunday!

Also, on another note, does anyone know anything about this Star Wars Day at Sea Merchandise catalog that we can preorder from? I found the catalog but can't find info on how to actually order anything from it!

Pirate night is on Day 3 after Cozumel and Star Wars Day at Sea is Day 5. The itinerary is listed on the t-shirts they have for sale to commemorate the Star Wars cruises. My TA sent me the ordering instructions for the catalog. Here they are:

My personal opinion is Palo Brunch is far better than Dinner and you are sure not to miss out on anything that way.

Hi! Where is the order form?

https://www.disneynow.com/profile/web/index.cfm?PKWebId=0x830501d34

You get there by going to My Disney Cruise on the DCL website, then gifts and amenities, and then the Star Wars Day At Sea merchandise link. Here's a picture of the webpage with the link.

[skaramatt]

we still want to participate in the 2nd group. thanks

 

[poohmomof5]

Hello everyone! We decided to cancel our Iceland cruise and book this instead! My husband and I were kids when the Star Wars movies came out and love all things Star Wars and have raised 5 Star Wars loving kids. So we thought, why wouldn't we go on a Star Wars Cruise???!!?!?!?

It will be me, DH, DS21, and DD18 (the rest of the kids are either in school or real life jobs and can't take off). We are in Cabin 5656 and this will be our 16th Disney Cruise. I didn't read all the posts but from what I did see:

Yes to FE.
Yes, do Palo, I don't recommend the first night as that is when you meet your servers, and I don't recall Pirate Night ever being on Castaway Cay day (at least in my previous cruises, but we typically do longer cruises so they don't have to squeeze that much in a short time). We try to make our seating time as close to our regular meal seating so we can still go to the shows if we want (we have done second seating for every cruise except our second one and we didn't like it). My DD18 in all her cruises has NEVER been to Palo yet! This will be a treat for her!

We usually sail the smaller ships for the different itineraries, so this will be our first time on the Fantasy! Super excited about that!

We just booked and PIF today and I booked our Palo and Remy times and my Spa time! So that made it extra real!

Did I read that we are splitting up the FE lists?

We have been to Cayman twice and Cozumel several times in the last few years, so if anyone is looking for any tips, let me know!

Also, in glancing through all the pages, I thought I saw somewhere that people put the dates of Star Wars day and Pirate night. Are those days confirmed?

Okay, sorry for the long post! Can't wait to meet you all!

 

[HanSoko]

Excited for this cruise. We've been on 2 previous 4 night cruises on the Dream, this is our first 7 night. Can't wait for Star Wars day at sea. Is there a formal night on the ship? Is that Day 2?

 

[HanSoko]

Is there a link with information on how to participate in the FE? We've never done it before and want to know the rules/etiquette before signing up.

[Poohcandi]

Clearly struggling with my reply.... Looking for those tips for Cozumel and Cayman. We are wondering if we have to book an excursion, or can we just get off the ship and those ports and wander. Are we going to be close enough to food or shopping to walk off. Or will we need transport or do we need to book something?

 

[DisDivaSTL]

Sorry I have been MIA. Life and our FB group have been busy.

I will get the FE list updated and finalized this week.
